All three annotation rows were re-reviewed. The two TreeGrafter modifications remain supported: the physiological reaction activates ferulate, not an aliphatic medium-chain fatty acid. PMID:12764569(https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/12764569/) is Plaggenborg et al. (2003), verified against PubMed and the cached abstract, which reports Fcs activity in recombinant extracts and failure of an fcs mutant to grow on ferulate. This is the specific primary evidence found by the existing OpenScientist report, and it is now cited directly. The report misattributed the paper to Jimenez et al. 2002, and its narrow BLAST score difference is not a substitute for examining the graft topology. Falcon independently supports aromatic hydroxycinnamate activation, but its alternative 4-coumarate-CoA ligase term is not a generic parent activity. Its phrase describing benzoate/vanillate as non-aromatic is chemically incorrect. Corrected the reaction products to AMP plus diphosphate. No duplicate adjudication was launched.
Replace the methods-only excerpt with the primary abstract identifying Fcs and its ferulate-conversion experiment. Source GOA assertions are unchanged.
